I've realized if you breed a strain for your style it will adapt to any style over time and become more efficient. A guy using jacks and breeding a strain with it and his environment like Charles Farley. He pushes jacks because he believes in it but it works good for him because he developed his strain to be dependent and work good with that food source, the main thing is keeping things steady. If it's not broke and your plants are happy don't fix it. The best thing any grow can do is breed their own seeds for their environment and grow styl3, every generation gets better

Thanks and noted. Actually I did create my own seeds and the plants are really doing well at the moment. What do you think?

The problem is a brown 'stain' occurs on the trunk beside a branch. The brown 'stain' spreads to the branch and it dies. A really bad case will see everything above the 'stain' die. This disease seems like it's fungal. Will occur no matter the weather is wet or dry.

So because my old salt 'soil' was absolutely free draining and sandy and my new organic soil is full of carbon based goodies and seems free draining too, I wonder what is going on?

The "living soil" monotub method is an absolute joke for Cannabis. I had to use a phosphorus acid boost to keep the plants from getting infected with "Santa's beard". That's why Mills was so popular for a while.

I finally said fuck this shit after lopping off a room of moms near ground level. Motherfucking fungus ate them to absolute shit.

If that's the difference between "healthy" and "not healthy", how far up your plant the fungal infection runs, you need to reconsider things. Fungus can suck my dick. Good for one thing and that's rotting the roots after during or before harvest you don't really get to choose.

Most "living soil" growers don't realize their plants are infested with fungus. They've normalized it. "Chem dog bleach terps" "ammonia Catpiss terps" Seriously?? You mean the smell of rotting mushrooms and rotting buds?

Are you an indoor grower? Just because you had bad results because you had the wrong soil organisms in the wrong environment doesn't mean. Fungus and bacteria are the fabrica of reality that represent metabolism of the plant and structure if your growing without colonies in your roots your not organic. Fungi bacteria and virus all have a bad wrap where very few are bad in each species. That's not true rotting smell comes from dead soils moreso I studies landraces all the rotting smells are from desert landraces with very little life in the soil. I understand that works for you, but seriously how long did you study organic growing before you tri2d6? Sis you read TLO that's was my start but evolved hia styles not bad but I disagree with a lot now. And have my own style. But it takes time to learn to organic garden properly. Being a synthetic grower switching to organic is hard as they are like complete opposites. And there's a lot more to know than mixing a few bottles and checking pH and ppms

May I also add that once you truly understand the feeding mechanism of a plant and realize that a plant cannot fucking feed by itself. That’s when you realize how important those micro organisms are important. In fact I was looking at a documentary on mushrooms, where a scientist claimed that without Fungi there would be No Forest

Well I love my Fungi….so much that I even ferment my Molasse to the point it develops fungi 😂😂😂😂

Here is my molasse diluted with water, fermenting 🤣

Of course there would be no forest. Funghi form a mycelium network that connects trees between each other, allowing trees that are far away from each other to share nutrients or even "warn" each other of incoming pests or fires, etc.

Organic living soils work very well with cannabis both indoors and outdoors. Both in separate or shared pots. It is actually beneficial funghi like trichoderma, mycorrizae and others that protect your plants from pathogens and harmful fungal infections (pythium etc)., and help them feed more efficiently.

I grew indoors for a long time and was never as pleased with the results as the last 3 years when I switched to a full organic soil, and watering only (rain water).

The worst thing that might happen is that you could lose maybe 10-15% harvest weight, if that, compared to growing with bottled nutrients. The quality of the finished product blows everything out the water and makes everything worth it, in my experience. Without even talking about how liberating it is to forget about EC and pH meters, nutrient tables and all the rest of shit that you get bled for at the grow store. You can focus instead on keeping perfect environmental conditions, selection, pest control, etc.
